VOICED : Belgian newspaper pioneers

La SUA in Brussels has introduced a new digital format for news delivery, designed for smartphones, tablets, and computers, which is sent to paying customers daily at 5:00 PM. Unlike other newspapers offering PDFs, La SUA's product allows for deeper engagement with multimedia enhancements and hypertext links. The shift aims to adapt to market demands and increase revenue, as traditional free quality information models are no longer viable. The digital version has seen a significant increase in subscriptions, and the staff has adapted to create more substantial content. La SUA's business plan includes offering a free tablet and internet connection for long-term subscribers, resulting in a notable rise in new subscribers.
